[INQUIRY] Lots of Promos Discussion

Discussion in 'Marketplace Discussion' started by chickeneer, Oct 21, 2014.

  1. So... I was thinking earlier today. I have lots of promos (which I plan to continue holding onto); but what if I did an auction with them? How much would/could they go for? Again, I plan on keeping my promos, so do not message me asking to buy anything off of me (as rupees have no value to me).

    So here follows the Promo/Rare items that I would include in this mega-super-awesome auction. (everything being unused)
    • 1 Set of Marlix gear
    • Momentus Toothpick
    • 1 Set of 60k gear
    • 9 more Ore Busters
    • 4 Holiday Picks
    • 9 Turkey Slicers
    • 8 Eggcelent Wands
    • 16 halloween heads
    • Both Dragon Poop items
    • 9 Cupid Bows
    • 7 Maxarias Heads
    • IcecreamCow's Eggnog
    • 16 2013 Labor Benches
    • 1 2013 Valentine's Rose
    • 1 Netherrhound Egg
    • 1 IcecreamCow skin/flesh
    • 3 Rudolph
    • 2 of Valens, Saltar, and Incitatus (unused)
    • 6 Stable Vouchers
    • 4 Vault Vouchers
    • 1 EMC Treasure Voucher
    • 11 ICC Birthday Vouchers
    • 1 Set of I-Day gear
    • 8 2014 Birthday Cakes
    • 8 2014 Labor Benches

  2. 1r for all. That's the highest I will offer no less no more.
  3. So you wouldn't take it if it was free no matter what the circumstances are?

    To answer your question Chickeneer, I say it's probably worth my first child. (I do not have children so I'd get an I.O.U. for ya)

    Whopping 'average' total is 5,948,500 (give or take)
    Anything with a (?) means a little unsure as I have not seen em around lately.

    Now as for the 'question' of at 'auction'... I would guess that players would try to make rupees off of something this massive, and that fewer players could actually bid on it all... meaning that this would be a hoarders dream come true... that, or I would have to close the auction as there are some 'invalid items' in there!

    I would love others to chime in and correct my list though, as I was doing this by memory, and auctions may have changed 'values' recently.
  8. From my experience:

    Those are my prices from experience.
  10. ive been thinking about doing the same thing... honestly this is great because my collection is very similiar and now i havent had to do any of the work to calculate the approximate price of the whole lot

  11. Nope. These are all items I collected as they came out or bought them individually.
  12. I think 5363k is just over 5mil :p
  13. 5 mil for an auction (people low-ball in auctions, ya know)
  14. I've seen plenty of auctions go for more than what the item or items is worth :p
  15. Most people take an auction like this as a "bulk auction", and to them, bulk means cheaper. The only time it goes higher is when a bidding war breaks out because a couple people really want those items. <- I have seen that happen before, but it's not so common.

    edit: and a 300k discrepancy in my sum comes from not knowing what an ICC eggnog goes for these days.
  16. I think it should be clear to most everyone that the amount this auction would go for is not necessarily how much they are worth. As mentioned, some of these do not go on the market often; so a certain collector may overspend to get certain parts of the winnings. I would not be surprised to see people team up with an auction like this (to split up certain items). But ultimately it would go to one of the big promo dealers, probably to resell individually (maybe keep a few). The pool of people with the funds to pay for this is limited.

    Again, not going to do this auction, but I also have some DC of items that I would include with this mega auction. Just to make it bigger. Anyone need iron? Lol

  18. I remember your iron shop on smp4, I was building an iron pryimid at the time and your EXTREMLY cheap 18r per block was the reason I finished with like 150r left. Any higher and the project would have most likely got canceled. About half a year later I went back to buy some iron and to my sad sight you were only buying iron. Then maybe 2 months later you closed it all together and I was very sad.
  19. Yeah, I speed selling for a bit because people started freaking out about Mojang nerfing iron farms. Then eventually gave away the residence since I was not using it.
